Sorry Alan, I lost the referral; google no find...... So from Google, I found a list of 10 linux distros, including Pentoo, for penetration testing. Rather than take the time to test each one, recommendations as to which ones anyone likes or uses, would save me quite some time... http://blog.rootcon.org/2012/02/10-pentesting-linux-distributions-you.html All feedback is appreciated, as I'm looking for a distro, I can run as a liveDVD, usbstick or such, when I need it and not dedicated a machine to this task. TIA, James
